Michael Paterniti Zitate

By living so long, the supercentenarian earns the prefixal 'super' and becomes a person suddenly freighted with power and meaning. He's Gandalf, Yoda, the Ancient Mariner, perhaps with some otherworldly insight. He's lived so long that, in fact, he's living the afterlife to his own initial life.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Indem er so lange lebt, erhält der Supercentenarian das Präfix "Super" und wird zu einer Person, die plötzlich mit Macht und Bedeutung belastet ist. Er ist Gandalf, Yoda, der alte Seefahrer, vielleicht mit etwas jenseitsem Blick. Er hat so lange gelebt, dass er tatsächlich das Leben nach dem Tod zu seinem ursprünglichen Leben führt.

I can love a person in this life only insofar as he tries to advance in the praise and service of God our Lord; for the man who loves anything for itself and not for the sake of God, does not love God with his whole heart.

People in life take on certain stories and say, 'I'm going to be defined by this story and I'm going to live up to every inch of this story.' Sometimes you realize the story isn't fulfilling you and in fact you're not living the life that you're given.

The Impossible Generalized Man today is the critic who believes in loving those unworthy of love as well as those worthy - yet believes this only insofar as no personal risk is entailed. Meaning he loves no one, worthy or no. This is what makes him impossible.

I always thought that people who live in the desert are a little crazy. It could be that the desert attracts that kind of person, or that after living there, you become that. It doesn't make much difference. But now I've done my 40 years in the desert.

Just like sunshine affects others, when the life of Jesus invades your life, you become a loving person. The effect on others is amazing.

The darkest moments for me weren't necessarily winding up in the hospital or anything like that. It was those quiet moments alone when I just hated the person I had become.
